Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat your oven to 425°F. Spread the 1.5 lb frozen fries in a single layer on a large baking sheet.

  2. Step 2

    Bake the fries for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, until they are golden and crispy.

  3. Step 3

    Remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle the 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the hot fries.

  4. Step 4

    Return the sheet to the oven and bake for 2-3 minutes more, until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.

  5. Step 5

    Season the cheesy fries with the 0.5 tsp salt and 0.25 tsp black pepper, then sprinkle with the 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley.
